IB/rxe: check for allocation failure on elem
[ Upstream commit 4831ca9e4a8e48cb27e0a792f73250390827a228 ] The allocation for elem may fail (especially because we're using GFP_ATOMIC) so best to check for a null return. This fixes a potential null pointer dereference when assigning elem->pool. Detected by CoverityScan CID#1357507 ("Dereference null return value") Fixes: 8700e3e7c485 ("Soft RoCE driver") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <alexander.levin@verizon.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
